This site offers advice & information for people
who are interested in international volunteering and want to make
sure that what they do is of value to themselves and the people
they work with.

Whether you have a few weeks or a few years there
are now loads of organisations that will help you find a volunteer
programme. But some of these programmes are much better than others.
Go to 'the guide' section for more
information on how to choose a volunteer programme.

While volunteers intentions are nearly always good,
this does not mean that all volunteer prorgammes or indeed volunteers,
are good. Indeed there are some programmes, and some volunteers
out there that can be said to do more harm than good. This site
offers some ideas to help you work out how you can be a valuable
international volunteer and how to choose a valuable volunteering
placement. For more information visit 'the guide' section of the
site.
